For the head of the KBR, Putin's word is "like a father's word"

Every word of Vladimir Putin is perceived by the head of Kabardino-Balkaria Kazbek Kokov as a father's word. His recently born grandson was named Vladimir. The politician shared this at a press conference at the Regional Information Center "TASS Caucasus".

The Russian president recently visited Kabardino-Balkaria. He was shown the products of the Agro 07 enterprise in the village of Germenchik. The organization produces, among other things, sugar-free fruit pastilles. Kazbek Kokov asked Putin for help in creating a campus for special vocational education. He, in turn, congratulated Kokov on the birth of his grandson.
